Dark Horse

Chapter 4

The sound of my alarm woke me up and i reach out for my phone to turn it off. I slide my thumb on the screen and the sound immediately went off. I really don't feel like going to school today, i'm still feeling very tired. I don't know what i did that i'm feeling this tired but all i did was i went to the disco on saturday and did some research yesterday. I didn't even dance though. I squeezed into my black skinny jeans, put my mint green sweater and a pair of white converse on and pulled on a black beanie on my head. Literally no make up on today. Just a little bit of lip balm to make myself look less pale. It's really chilly today and definitely not a good hair day.

"You're early today", Alana said as soon as i meet her at the school's cafe.

"Yeah but i really didn't wanna go to school today", i rest the side of my face against the coffee table.

"Why?"

"I feel so tired.."

"You didn't even dance", she laughed.

"Precisely", i huffed.

"Where's Zack?", i added.

"Doubt he's coming today. Guess he's still knocked out. He didn't answer my calls", she said and i shook my head.

"Okay let's go get you some caffeine so you wont be as tired for the rest of the day", she pulled my arm helping me to get off my seat. Am i that tired?

"One hot chocolate and...", Alana said hitting her elbow on mine.

"Oh um, one expresso", i said and the counter guy smiled. Maybe i should've ordered hot chocolate as well because it's really cold today.

The rest of the day went pretty well. We're in our last class for today and i could actually fall asleep any minute on my desk. No one's sitting beside me and i'm feeling a thousand times bored than usual. Well Zack was supposed to sit with me but he isn't here, that little...nugget.

I decided to give my fullest attention to the lesson right now until i felt someone taking a seat beside me. At first i didn't really care who it was, i thought it's probably Alana but then the person softly blow against my ear and i know this isn't Alana. I turn to my right and my heart drops.

Harry.

"You? What are you doing here?", i whispered. He smiled before answering me.

"I'm trying to see how you're alive despite staying away from me."

"Please...go away", i whisper again and look up. Our professor is still writing on the board, i felt a bit of relief.

"I will, but not without you", he whispered back. We are both whispering now.

"Someone might see us", i say as he lay his hand on mine.

"So let's go to a place where no one will see us", he says leaning in closer and closer as each word leave his mouth.

"Class is in progress", i breathe.

"And i'm skipping a beat", his face is now inches away from mine. I thank god i'm sitting at the back of the class.

"We'll get caught", i shook my head.

"If we keep sitting here like this", he says with his green eyes not leaving mine.

He is challenging me, i know he is. I don't know what he wants from me but i think i like him. I look up, the professor still has his back on us, reading and explaining what he has written on the board. I drop my gaze back at Harry and grabbed my stuff and sneak out of the classroom from the back door. He has his arms on mine and quickly we ran along the empty hallway before anyone catches us. He told me to sit behind him and this is my first time riding a motorbike. And that too without helmet. As much as i didn't want to, he forced my arms to wrap around his waist as he starts his bike. My hands starts to get clammy on his black leather jacket because i'm really scared. I barely know who he is and he is taking me to a place where i don't even know. But i don't dare to go against him.
